Fundraising

How much should I donate?

expand_more expand_less

Our dollar handles are only a guide of the necessities a young person may need to assist in their journey of finding a safe home. You may choose to donate more, knowing that the difference will be ongoing and life changing. At this stage the dollar handles range from $2-$20, however you can choose to give a higher amount using the Other function.

Where do the donations go?

Lighthouse Foundation is committed to making lasting change to young people. With over 45,000 young people experiencing homelessness every night, these funds will go towards our various programs which you may like to read more about.

Can I donate more than once?

expand_more expand_less

There is no donation limit, you might like to support multiple of the Cut Out Youth Homelessness figures. There are 10 figures to choose from in the donation portal however any fundraising you do can benefit all the young people who are supported by Lighthouse Foundation.

Are there any incentives to donate?

Each school that participates will receive a certificate in recognition of their fundraising efforts. Currently we do not have any prizes for top fundraisers, however we know the cause to make a difference will be a big incentive.

Will donations stop on a certain date?

expand_more expand_less

Lighthouse is grateful to all the participating schools and to recognise the impact of this campaign fundraising is open for one month after the Cut Outs leave your school. Ideally most fundraising occurs during the Cut Out Youth Homelessness week.

Will I receive a receipt?

Yes. You will receive a tax deductible receipt upon payment. Any issues with this can be directed to Lighthouse Foundation by contacting reception@lighthousefoundation.org.au

We always welcome enquiries to host a fundraising event or to raise funds in different ways. Find an event, choose a challenge, get your school involved, or think of your own way to fundraise for Lighthouse and the young people we support every day. Every dollar you raise will go towards our life-changing programs with youth experiencing or at-risk of homelessness. Visit lighthousefoundation.org.au/how-to-help/community-fundraising for ideas on how you can get involved.
